## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-10-04 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> ## For agencies running clients under your own brand
> 
> **1. GoHighLevel (HighLevel)** - The default answer for most small-to-mid marketing agencies, and the one I'd name first. It bundles CRM, email/SMS, funnels, landing pages, calendars, call tracking, and reputation management into unlimited client sub-accounts. The real draw is SaaS mode: you rebrand it as your own product, set your own prices, and bill clients through Stripe automatically. Rebranding starts at the $297/mo Unlimited plan, full SaaS mode at $497/mo. Downside: it's a jack-of-all-trades, and every individual module is weaker than a dedicated tool.
> 
> **2. ActiveCampaign** - Pick this when email/SMS automation quality actually matters and your clients are e-commerce or B2B with real lifecycle complexity. Its automation builder is still the best in its price class - conditional branching, split testing inside workflows, lead scoring. It has an agency partner program with client management, but white-labeling is an Enterprise-tier add-on (~$750/mo), so it's a cost step up from HighLevel.
> 
> **3. HubSpot (Solutions Partner Program)** - The right call if you serve mid-market and enterprise clients who will stay for years. Yo
